hippy in the corn

Hello All :)

Hope your enjoying the most beautiful weather outside. I just love the crisp smell of Fall. It makes me so happy to see pumpkins and golden colors and well you know :) Anyway I just got done with a portrait project using a mirror. I chose Dianna because she is fun and unique and well I just haven't used her in a project in a long while. She is such a hippy and I think the corn field was perfect.

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend

Oh the Joys of Labor Day

Good Morning,

It's a beautiful day outside and even more beautiful because there is no school today. :) I am currently getting over sinuses and an ear infection. Feeling so much better compared to Friday. Ha ha This weekend consisted of the first football game of the season. I don't know much about football but I sure do love the atmosphere and rooting for my Dawgs :) I'll be a lot better this week and super ready to cheer them on against Auburn. Anyways I hope you're having a beautiful day and relaxing. I think I'll be taking today to make some art.

Things to do...
1) Define passage through black and white Holga
2) Journal Entries for Research ( really in depth with the soul stuff)
3) Make a painting. I think that would be nice
4) I make this one fourth because who really wants to clean :)

Defining passage through Holga is a little harder than I thought, but I have some ideas. Hopefully they will work. I'll try to upload soon. :)

Have a wonderful day!

A good way to begin

Good Evening,

Well this week has been hectic and insane and great all at once. I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in touch with the Palmer Home but I did and they are willing to help me with my project. My first meeting is tomorrow morning and I'm excited and nervous. Then BSU Fall Retreat is this weekend so that should be fun! Oh, I just realized thats probably something I should pack for. Ha Anyways I must go! another paper is calling my name.

P.S I have found inspiration from this lady.

First Full Week

Hey again,

SO its the first full week of school! It's officially Senior year and I'm excited, nervous, pumped, bittersweet? hahaha I'm taking 12 hours, adv. photo, directed ind. study, sr. honors research, and umm oh yeah Darkroom explorations. Exciting huh? I have a lot to do and to think on. God is guiding my steps and He is in control of the future!

I haven't been to bed before midnight in like 3 weeks! I've been determined to make the most out of this year. I don't really think I'm ready to be done!

Andrew cooked dinner for us last night and then we went for a walk around campus for the first time in a really long time and it was rather lovely. Then Dianna and Rachael came over last night and we stayed up talking about life and  reminiscing. Time flies when your having fun!

I'm hoping to begin some documentary series through an orphanage or possible through a nursing home. Actually I may take strange quirky family portraits of family owned businesses. That would be cool I think.

So where exactly do I want to go after collage? After it's all said and done? I don't have a clue. Maybe to Maine or to India. Maybe Africa or Russia? Maybe just here in Starkville I will stay. Where ever my Father in Heaven leads me, I will follow.

Anyways I must go! Time to get some research done! :)

Road Trips = bliss

This is such a late post. I should really get on here more often to tell about my adventures. Last weekend right before school started, about seven of us left for the beach around nine at night with intentions of sleeping on the beach. Ha yeah so we get there and it starts to rain. Are you surprised? Me either. We ended up piling seven of us in a hotel room. That was funny. Anyways it rained and rained some more. Then we headed to waffle house for a hearty breakfast and then to the beach! It turned out to be a beautiful day spent with awesome friends! One of my friends had color filters, so we were dorks and sat for a while and took pictures. It was quite enjoyable :)

Simple Life

Hello my friends :)

This week I have been staying with my good friend Kelli and her family. They have been so sweet :) At their house though, its the simple things in life. It makes me happy. Anyways Kelli and I were discussing the simple life and their porch swing made me feel like I was at home. My favorite spot at home is the porch swing. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time on the swing just listening and thinking. Anyways today is my last day of work :) and then I am going to paint my day away tomorrow. I'll try to post again with some of my paintings from this month. 

Xoxo,
